Senator Goldwater: Wright-Patterson 'Blue Room' Too Classified to Access
Senator Barry Goldwater writes to a constituent on October 19, 1981 about recovered UFO bodies and technology at Wright-Patterson AFB: 'I have long ago given up acquiring access to the so-called blue room at Wright-Patterson... this thing has gotten so highly classified, even though I will admit there is a lot of it that has been released, it is just impossible to get anything on it.' Goldwater, a five-term Senator, former Republican presidential nominee, Air Force reservist Major General, and close friend of Gen. Curtis LeMay, had written similar letters in 1975 and 1979.
